'flu and covid-booster

It's taken forever to get here but the day has arrived and I look forward to 15:30 with both trepidation and relief.
Trepidation because I know I'm bound to feel rough afterwards and will probably end up sleeping for a goodly while (do hope so, having had covid I don't want any of those symptoms ever again) and relief because once done and out the other side (incubation period) I will have less chance of getting any of the strains cantering through the population. 
London is the worst it seems and with one of the highest unvaccinated populace I'm not surprised.
A lady I know works in intense care and she's exhausted by the people who failed to get vaccinated because the fell for the scammers and now fill her precious beds preventing those with serious heart conditions et al to be entertained and potentially saved.
Who dies? Is it that much of a lottery?
I'm afraid I have little sympathy for the vaccine refusers who suddenly discover this isn't like the flu and a couple of days in bed doesn't send it packing.
When then,  should they take priority over others who probably did vaccinate and now need support because of other health conditions? 
Hey, just my opinion, I know some would object and possibly wish me dead for uttering such things, but believe it or not it's a free(ish) country and we should be able to say what we think without worrying we will incur death threats.
I feel for the women in public life who run the gambit of rape threats, death threats and threats against their children.
So, its 12:45, not long to go. As usual I feel sick with worry. Oh how I dislike the waiting game to get it over and done with.

Laundry's little helper

I wonder if many know what this is?  I had one.  It was made by Hotpoint and lasted for well over 10 years. I used it frequently...
